This film is like a lost episode of "Chef's Table." It's just as good but contains less food porn and more subject development. I don't particularly enjoy cooking, but I do have a special affinity for certain chefs like Erin French, Renee
I watched "The Garden Left Behind" in bed with a cup of peppermint tea at my Airbnb in Austin and had a hard time sleeping after it ended. The first half of the film lulled me into a false sense of security, then gutted me like a fish.
I'm back from SXSW and at best, I would describe myself as an empty shell of a human. I have a ton of coverage to put together but all I want to do is sleep, drink a bunch of water, and stay the fuck away from screens. Thankfully,
